How to Install Smarty on a Hosted Web Server
Each Web host provider has its own interface for customers, but every provider has a method of uploading files to your domain folders. To install Smarty, you upload the necessary PHP library files and use these files within your PHP code. The Smarty template interface helps you create templates and layouts for your website. Most Web host providers provide you with an upload interface you access from a Web browser.
